QUICKSLIVER HIGHWAY - 1997 - Director: Mick Garris Stephan
King and Clive Barker, arguably two of the biggest names in horror had
their stories put to the screen in this one. It's basically a
"Creepshow" or "Tales From The Crypt" style of movie,
except both stories are simply, well, not good. The narrarator
of both films is Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future). He's
a "collector" of stories and roams the highways looking for
people to bore with his ramblings. King's story is about a toy
in the the shape of chattering teeth that helps out a traveling salesman.
Barker's story was about a physician's hands who rebel against his body.
This one is more comical, but too silly to be creepy at all. They
blatantly rip off effects from "The Adams Family" and "Evil
Dead 2". These stories might be allright for a weekly show,
but not for a movie, even if it's one made for TV. I don't blame
the directing here, just a couple stories that don't, and never would
be good for video or theater. |
